Mnemokinesis

From Activating Evolution

(Redirected from Memory Erasure)

Mnemokinesis, also called Recollection/Memory Manipulation is the ability to psychically alter or manipulate memory. With this ability, the user could cause subjects to believe in ideas or occurrences that are not true, or they could make someone believe that they witnessed or experienced something that never happened. If one were to use this ability, he could even erase or enhance his memories or the memories of others as much as he likes (to access the abilities of Panmnesia, Paramnesia or Amnesia; even Memory Erasure, Inherent Intelligence or the like).

[edit] Variations:

Identity Erasure

• Identity Erasure is a variation of Mnemokinesis (or rather, Memory Erasure) that allows one mentally erase memories of oneself from others’ minds. One with this ability could delete their name as well as memories or knowledge associated with them from the mind of any person with which they have had previous contact, as long as they are in close-enough range. One with this ability could use this to start a new life, or evade the pursuit of powerful foes. Sometimes, however, one may also be able to delete the identities of others (even from their own memory) or may have the ability Psychic Disguise.

Memory Erasure

• Memory Erasure, also known as Memory Wiping or Mind Wiping is the psychic ability to mentally delete the memories of others through a touch, a kiss or mental contact. When used to its max potential, this ability has no limit; the user could completely remove the short-term and long-term memories of others, leaving the victim in a comatose state, or preventing the use of superhuman abilities. This ability may be accompanied by Mnemonic Recollection (allowing the user to restore the memories he erases), although Rapid Regeneration or Healing work to do that as well.

Note: If the user has or gains this faculty, as well as the ability Mnemonic Recollection and the ability to implant/distort memories, the user’s ability as developed into Mnemokinesis.

Mnemonic Recollection

• Memory Recollection, also called Mnemonic Recall is the ability to psychically bring things back to subjects’ memory. This ability negates Amnesia (both the ability and the condition) and Memory Erasure (it even combats the effects of Alzheimer’s and the like, so memory does not unnaturally deplete over time as it often does in old age). This can even bring back childhood memories, repressed memories, etc. However, this ability can also bring back painful memories in foes (or cause memory to sporadically act up, recalling sounds, smells or other experiences at inappropriate times) etc.
